Salba Grain - Chia Seeds

According to this BBC article the marketing of products as superfoods is banned in the EU as of June 2007 unless the claim can be supported by credible scientific research.

The definition of a superfood according to Wikipedia is "a type of food believed to have health benefits beyond those of more common foods due to specific phytonutrient content. For instance, blueberries are considered a superfood or superfruit because they contain significant amounts of antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamin C, manganese and dietary fibre which are believed to provide important health benefits."

I guess this is part of the reason why the super grain Salba® is rather considered a functional food. Doug Cook of the Toronto Star Vice Squad calls the salba seed "An Ancient Nutritional Wonder". In his article about these aztec chia seeds he compares the salba seed (Salvia hispanica L.) to the well known flax in terms of a source of omega-3 fats.

I'm sure you will see the emergence of more salba reviews and salba recipies since more and more people will want to find answers to the question "what is salba?" and if there are any health benefits to eating chia seeds. Salba salvia hispanica is available in canada and probably also in the U.S.

Chia seed research has been conducted at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Canada and probably other places as well.

Before adding any so called superfood or functional food to your diet I highly recommend to consider looking into a source of whole food nutrients with a very high nutrient density like The Feast. Over 176 all natural ingredients delivered through a low-temperature drying process should provide enough vegetable nutrients and essential nutrients to come close to a recommended daily nutrient intake. Why not order a sample and give your taste buds something to look forward to?
